Sink holes

These holes are not only amazing,
but some are really terrifying!
The sheer scale of these holes
reminds you of just how
tiny we are.
1) Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa
Apparently the largest ever hand-dug
excavation in the world, this
1097 meter deep mine yielded over
3 tons of diamonds before
being closed.
2)Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California
A glory hole is used when a dam
is at full capacity and water
needs to be drained from the reservoir.
It is the largest spillway of this
type in the world and consumes
14,400 cubic feet of water
every second.
3) Great Blue Hole, Belize
This incredible geographical
phenomenon known as a blue hole
is situated 60 miles off the mainland
of Belize .
There are numerous blue holes
around the world, but none as
stunning as this one.
4) Sinkhole in Guatemala
These photos are of a sinkhole
that occurred in Guatemala.
The hole swallowed 2 dozen homes
and killed at least 3 people.
5) SHIT HOLE, Washington D.C.
This hole swallows trillions and
trillions of U.S. Dollars annually!
The money that falls into this hole
is never heard from again, nor
do we see any good come from it.
It is reported to be filled with
thousands of "ass holes."
TRULY AMAZING!
